This is when you realize you love many people. Can’t say it, but I have an idea.

This is a trick question, as no one I know of (including myself) is immortal.

The love of my life. She fulfils my desires, my emotional needs and loves me for who I am. I can’t ask for anything more.

There is no possible way for me to answer this, being the mother of three children. It’s just inconceivable!

This for me is easy, I would choose my husband. Hubby is the reason I get up in the morning. I genuinely wouldn’t be here still if it weren’t for him. If I’m having a really sucky day I just have to look at him and I feel better. He’ll wrap his arms round me and give me a hug and whatever has been bugging me just melts away. If I was to be stuck on a desert Island, so long as I had him with me, everything would be fine.
hugs everyone xx

I had a relationship exactly like that, until 6Nov09. Now physically separated by death, but spiritually united forever.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land I’m so sorry <hugs> I don’t know what to say. The worst pain I’ve ever felt was when i lost my grandmother, almost 9 years ago. In that time I’ve since lost my Dad, I wish so much that I could make your pain go away, from your replies you’re such a lovely person. You are right though, you’ll never be apart. I still talk to my Gran, I wish so much some days that she could answer me, but, I swear I’ve felt her so many times. It’s like she’s just out of my line of vision, and if i turned round quick enough I’d see her. Haven’t managed to catch her yet, but I know she’s there. I probubly sound crazy now but i swear its true. Sending millions of love and hugs xx

@bunnygrl Thanks so much and ((hugs)) back. I’m starting to come out of the shock of it now. I’m moving back to the farm next week; rejoining the human race

I would want my partner that I have now. The only other people in my life is my mum and dad, my mum is married and so she has someone, my dad and I have fallen out.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land Wow looks like you are taking that ‘one step forward each day’. Good for you. I think you know by now there are so many people here on fluther who are supporting you.
I was once told when my mum died ‘she is only in the other room’. This has helped me to get through her death.
@bunnygrl I am just like you. I talk to my mum each and every day. I don’t care what people think about me, it just helps me when I do this.

I couldn’t honestly answer this question.
I tried to think of just one person, but that is an impossibility.
I suppose I must be fortunate to have more than one person I would want to be with.

partyparty (9162

Probably the girl I want to have sex with the most but who has thus far eluded my powers of seduction. ..er umm well, i mean, assuming I’d be the only person in her life as well. otherwise that could backfire miserably. But if those are the rules, then definitely her. I figure there’d be at least a better than average chance she’d eventually have sex with me out of sheer boredom if nothing else. Sure, maybe that makes me shallow—but who cares what you think? It’s just me and her forever here after anyway.

That one very special girl I still have to meet.

This sort of exclusively binary relationship would only be fun if you’re in love, anyway.

Fyrius (14560

I couldn’t possibly choose between my wife and daughter.

I’d be a wreck if I lost either one – therefore of no use to the other one.

cookieman (41606

My daughter. Though we’d probably drive each other crazy after a while. Are we talking desert island/end of the world scenario? ie are we the only 2 humans left? Because then I’d pick a grown woman and try to repopulate. But if it’s a situation where the rest of the world exists but are simply strangers, then my daughter.

No, don’t make me :(
This’d be real hard to organise, anyway. Like when you’re doing seating for a function or weddings and you get people to put down two people they want to sit with and you have to make sure everyone gets at least one person they want on their table but if you’re only picking one person to begin with, what if the person you choose picks someone else? :S

When I read this question , a few people appeared in my mind (like my mom , dad , two sisters , some good friends) . But to think about it , every one will have their own ‘only one person to have your life’ . So I will have to choose my own, eventually . And it’d be my boyfriend (= But I am only guessing that he will choose me too , haha !

I could never choose between my Husband and my Son but; my Husband feels the same about me and my Son . I don’t think I will ever have too. They make my life worth living; without either one there is no point.

I would choose my husband but pretend that my kids have gone to live on another planet, happily. I don’t want to be without them.

I can’t answer this. There’s too many people I’d want around.

This reminds me of a question some reporter asked John Cleese years ago: “If you were stranded on an desert island, what is the one luxury you would want with you?” “Michael Palin,” John replied, and he wasn’t making a joke. Awwww.

personally, don’t see how this question can be logically answered. There is no way to pick my mom over my son…or for that matter, my grandchildren or my g/f….on and on! Each one is so important in my life…

@BoBo1946 Yes, it’s an impossible decision to make.
I think we are extremely lucky to be in the situation where we have more than one important person in our lives.
